Surely it will be the END for this CLOWN after the Euros, no way can he get another tournament to muck up can he ? Useless as a club manager, never won even a RAFFLE with a TOP club, somehow got the ENGLAND job instead of the people's PICK Harry Redknapp and has stunk out every tournament since.

Dire at Euro 12, WORST ever performance at at World Cup in 2014 and now DIER at 2014. He is just another YES man in a FA Blazer and we have a talented crop of youngsters but all they do is DEFEND and as for KANE taking corners, what sort of coaching BADGE do you NEED to coach that ?

Sack Hodgson NOW

Kane taking free kicks and corners is an abomination.
Employing the Hughton tactic of shutting up shop with 20 minutes to go was equally misguided.

Shame, he speaks highly of you :)

I agree with you, ENREST, about Kane taking corners - idiotic - does that mean there is not one of the other nine outfield players (England Internationals) who can take a decent corner???? On the other hand we probably need to give him until the end of this tournament before deciding should he stay or should he go.

Listening to a sport radio discussion on this very subject pre tournament someone mentioned that with the FA's intent on only an English manager in future who on earth would succeed him

Yes, to be fair, we don't yet know how it will pan out. Worrying was the fact that against a team like Russia, which clearly are not the strongest, we could not score from open play. However, other than this, we were much better than they were, and so this might be cause for future optimism. I would be surprised if we did not qualify, whatever one's thoughts about yesterday. Also, I too thought it odd that a tall striker was taking the corners, but there may have been a good reason for that, of which we are unaware. Let's be patient about Hodgson and indeed the team until at least the end of the group stage.

Yeah, because it's Roy's fault the players can't stick the ball in the net.

Always the manager's fault with England, as opposed to the mediocre players. Funny that...

If your CENTRE Forward , TOP scorer is 40 yards away from the goal at every corner it is going to be difficult to score

If that is true... than it's a small and depressing list:

Alan Pardew
Steve Bruce
Eddie Howe
Sam Allardyce
Gareth Southgate

Couldn't argue that any of them would be a better appointment.

He had on the bench the fastest player in the EPL who has scored 25 goals and one the best counter attacking strikers around and he didn't bring him on. Instead he brought on Milner (who is fine) to sure things up. Roy chose to try and defend the game out thus inviting pressure on to a tiring England team. It was pretty obvious Russia were going to throw everything they had at England and they did, although it wasn't very much. You should do what you are good at as a team and asking the England team to defend a game out is not one of them. Better to go for a second goal or at least threaten the goal which the knackered Kane could no long do to any affect. It's pretty simple stuff but Roy is too cautious and inflexible in these situations. It's a shame, as he got most of his tactics right and England looked good for it.
